Role of the Counselor
Our counselors are here to help students develop educational plans that give them the opportunity to learn the skills and knowledge they will need to be prepared for the future. Through the partnership between the student, their teachers, and their family, the counselor will guide each student to help identify his or her individual strengths, areas for growth, and interests to achieve personal success in high school, in future educational endeavors, or the working world.
- Every student is assigned to a counselor who will remain with the student throughout high school.
- The counselor will discuss course selections with the student and ensure that the student is making progress towards meeting graduation requirements.
- The counselor confers frequently with classroom teachers to help the counselor understand how the student is performing in the classroom.
- The counselor helps the teacher understand the student’s academic background, special concerns, and individual goals.
Parents also play an important role in the educational planning for their children, and we encourage parents to contact the school counselor with any questions or concerns during school hours via email or by phone.
